This is not a political post. It's about loss of basic human decency and truth. Last night there was a tragic mid-air collision. Just hours later, Elon Musk said it was not an accident, and Trump said it was caused by a policy he doesn't agree with. Beyond disgusting.

β€œI never thought I would live in a time when the United States government would censure a bishop, jeopardize religious free speech, or threaten to take people while they attend worship.” βš“οΈ

Yet more evidence that people can’t accurately detect well-prompted AI writing (and AI can’t accurately detect well-prompted AI writing, either). arxiv.org/pdf/2407.08853

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Have now watched the bulk of it, and it's excellent. One particular note is how human eyesight has evolved for survival rather than for accurately seeing "reality" dovetails nicely with Donald Hoffman's theory of consciousness creating a "headset" view of our reality.

New randomized, controlled trial by the World Bank of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. Six weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions.

And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind.
